    Paint PVC pipes to make them interesting?

    Dryer vent was installed as part of the house build from new. Electric dryer, and I stay on top of scrubbing out the vent with a wire dryer vent brush. Can't believe they'd use this and not flag it during inspection. :sad:

    Paint PVC pipes to make them interesting?

    That's the plan, I was just curious if anyone had done anything more interesting or had pictures. :D

    Paint PVC pipes to make them interesting?

    I have a pair of 4" PVC pipes in the corner of my garage. One for the dryer and one for waste water. Has anyone painted PVC or somehow used exposed pipes as a canvas rather than try to hide them? I was thinking painting them bright red or bright green and adding nuclear symbols on them to make...

    Custom paper towel holder?

    I've been looking for a unique paper towel holder everywhere and so far I haven't found anything that was garage related. Anyone have a custom holder or seen one that wasn't dull? Something like a piston as the base mount or......?

    What did you do "TO" your garage today?

    Re: What did you do to your garage today? I finally finished my Pennsylvania garage artwork. Only took a year to find the right plates and time to finish it.

    Check out this garage...

    Not sure I get it.... Terrible waste of space, no driveway, cluttered... Plus, you better hope the hydraulic system never fails. Odd.... But he must really enjoy it.

    Repurposed old windows

    Not sure what you mean by my moulding grammar? Pretty sure I described everything pretty accurately? The glass is in place because there will be photographs behind the glass. I didn't take a picture of it with the rods and backer board in place to hold them.

    Repurposed old windows

    I found a guy on Craigslist selling old wooden windows with multiple glass panes. I've been wanting to try to repurpose something like this for a while so I picked them up and sized them up for what I wanted to do with them. The two lower sashes I decided to turn into picture frames. Each...

    Do Not Swap "some" Control Modules

    Is this new? My 2004 Grand Prix already had this "feature". The radio and odometer and possibly the HVAC module are tied to the vehicles VIN through the data bus. Definitely a pain in the **** for anyone who just needs to replace the radio or whatever themselves. I found that out firsthand...

    80 gallon compressor tank rust through leak

    I had a smaller 20 gallon tank let go in my dads garage while I was working on his car. It had a pinhole leak in the tank and finally let go while I was on the other side of the car. I can't imagine an 80 gallon tank imploding after experiencing that 20 gallon explode. Luckily no damage or...

    Build a wall in rear of garage? Tips please.

    I figured I'd leave out a lot of info. We moved into the house this past June and it rained like hell all summer/fall/winter here in Central PA and I've never seen any indication of moisture in the garage. The basement is also finished and it's shown no indication of moisture either. The...

    Build a wall in rear of garage? Tips please.

    I'm ready to frame up a wall in the rear of our garage and I've got a few easy questions (I think). 1. Is there a reason they wouldn't have framed a wall against poured concrete against a wall that is underground? I don't plan to insulate the wall, I just need something to attach cabinets to...
